Jack’s Petunia Feed

Tue, 1 Jun 2010 11:06:33 -0400

It’s a start to a new month and the weather has finally warmed up. The petunias love this warm weather. One of our most frequently asked questions is “how do you get your petunias to look that good?” Well there is a lot of hard work that go into our petunia hanging baskets. First we start with excellent varieties, great potting soil, and regulate water, temp, and space. But we have already done all of that for you. So all that there is left for you to do is water them daily and feed them with Jack’s Classic Petunia Feed. This little jug of fertilizer is the key to keeping the petunias blooming and it keeps the leaves from yellowing in the middle of summer. Another secret is if they start to look leggy, cut them back and in two weeks you’ll have beautiful full baskets!

Hanging Baskets

Well today finally feels like a summer day and the petunias are loving it! We needed a nice sunny day so the flowers could soak in some much needed rays. As always my dad sprinkled his magic touch on the hanging baskets and they are looking wonderful. Big and beautiful petunias, trailing bacopa, rich dragon wing begonias, and a touch of euphorbia are what makes this years baskets terrific.

Spring Cookout

Last saturday, April 24, we had our first spring cookout to celebrate our new remodeled nursery. The rain held out and we were able to celebrate with a big crowd! We grilled out hot dogs, hamburgers, mets, and provided snacks and drinks. We ran several one day sales throughout the store. But the main goal was to let everyone view our newly designed nursery. Thanks to all who came out and joined in our celebration!

Dearborn County Art Guild

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:34:58 -0400

Every year the Art Guild does a spring art show at the Shuck’s building in Aurora. They ask local florist and garden clubs to do a companion piece to a piece of art work of our choice. This year I picked a fabulous watercolor by Joan Abdon. It was a painting of a croquet set. I made my croquet mallets out of bamboo and decorated the stripes with flowers. The croquet balls were represented by colorful geraniums and added wire wickets to finish the scene. I placed second in the event. The art will be on display all this week. Stop by and support the local artist and see my design!

Mommy and Me Day 2010

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 13:36:08 -0400

Yesterday was a fun filled day with little kids making hanging baskets for Mom. This was the second year we decided to do Mommy and Me Day. Kids came in and enjoyed snacks, learning about flowers, and getting to hand pick flowers to plant in the basket. Each kid’s basket was unique. We keep the baskets and care for them until Mother’s Day, when the parents can pick up the finished baskets. It’s a great gift for Mother’s Day!

Fall Wedding Bouquets

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:33:27 -0400

Autumn wasn’t dreary and drab this year. All the bouquets were bright and bold. Bright yellows, oranges, reds and touches of whites were the popular colors with a spinkle of lime green. Green is still setting trends in spring, fall, and winter bouquets.
